Hey all, I just set up a new PC for myself and I'm having trouble configuring Classic Shell to how it was on my old setup. I had it where there was no Start Button present, but left-clicking the bottom left of the screen would bring up the Start Menu (instead of the Start Screen). It might be because I have a newer version of Shell, but why would that feature be removed on this compared to the older version I had? If anyone could help, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks!

This was never a feature. Maybe you had a tiny button in the corner? Or maybe you disabled the start button completely and were using the Win key instead of the mouse? |

Dang. That was a really aesthetically pleasing setup I had, and I don't know how to repeat it! I know for a fact I used the mouse to the bottom left of the screen. How do you think I got the button to be "tiny"? Trying it now, going negative brings back the default Shell icon and using a blank image leaves a huge gap in the taskbar. |

Actually you can do this: 1. from the 'windows 8 settings' tab; the option disable active corners, needs to either be set to 'all' or 'start screen' 2. from the 'start button' tab; select a custom button (pick any picture you like because in this case it doesnt matter), and set button size to 1 |

I guess this is how I had it set up before, though I can't remember if right-click brought the newer Windows 8 context admin menu. But whatever, this is great! Thanks again!

Changing settings externally while the start menu is running is not supported. That's pretty much how most software works. |

Yes what Ivo said. Changing settings while the menu is running is not supported nor recommended. You can first safely exit Classic Start Menu in your batch file using C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe -exit parameter. Then merge the "DisableHotCorner" value whenever you want to apply that setting (after CSM has exited). Start ClassicStartMenu.exe again. |
